Terminal
Use Terminal to run commands in the task's cloud environment: build and test the project, inspect files, or run Git commands the editor doesn't offer. The shell starts in the project folder.
The terminal is yours, not the agent's: the commands the agent runs show up in the chat, not here. Whatever your commands change in the working tree is an edit of your own – see Edits you make yourself.
